Marin Humane Society seizes horses in West Marin abuse investigation

Two horses were seized and others are being monitored in an animal cruelty investigation in West Marin, the Marin Humane Society said Friday.

Officers took the horses last week from a property in the Chileno Valley area, the animal shelter said. The organization found "serious neglect, injuries, unsafe and inhumane living conditions" for the horses, the organization said.

Authorities seized an injured stallion and a malnourished mare for care off the property, and they are monitoring the health of two dozen other foals, pregnant mares and stallions, including Hanoverians and thoroughbreds, the shelter said.

The Marin Humane Society did not release additional details about the site or the proprietors while the investigation continues. No suspects have been arrested.
